Passively Adaptive Radiative Switch for Thermoregulation in Buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
With the ever-growing need to reduce energy consumption, building materials that passively heat or cool are gaining importance. However, many buildings require both heating and cooling, even within the same day. To date, few technologies can automatically switch between passive heating and cooling, and those that can require a large temperature range ...

The Influence of Body Size on Behavioral Thermal Preference in Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua): Larger Fish Favor Colder Waters

open access: yesFishes, 2023
In the context of global warming and the concurrent decrease in ectothermic fish body size, the mechanisms driving this phenomenon remain a subject of scientific debate.

Climate trends and behavior of a model Amazonian terrestrial insectivore, black‐faced antthrush, indicate adjustment to hot and dry conditions

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, 2022
Rainforest loss threatens terrestrial insectivorous birds throughout the world's tropics. Recent evidence suggests these birds are declining in undisturbed Amazonian rainforest, possibly due to climate change.

Functional links between thermoregulation and sleep in children with neurodevelopmental and chronic health conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2022
The bi-directional relationship between sleep and wake is recognized as important for all children. It is particularly consequential for children who have neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) or health conditions which challenge their sleep and biological

Behavioral thermoregulation is highly repeatable and unaffected by digestive status in Agama atra.

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, 2018
The precision and the extent of behavioral thermoregulation are likely to provide fitness benefits to ectotherms. Yet the factors driving variation in selected or preferred body temperature (Tset ) and its usefulness as a proxy for optimal physiological ...

Nighttime behaviors of white-headed langurs (Trachypithecus leucocephalus): The role of predation avoidance and thermoregulation

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2023
We collected nighttime behavioral data by observing a group of white-headed langurs (Trachypithecus leucocephalus), comprising 16 individuals in a limestone forest in Guangxi Chongzuo National Nature Reserve, China, from October 2016 to August 2017.

How frequent and important is behavioral thermoregulation by embryonic reptiles?

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2018
The debate about behavioral thermoregulation inside reptile eggs centers on the frequency (and hence, biological significance) of the phenomenon, not about its validity.

Pathophysiology of Fever and Application of Infrared Thermography (IRT) in the Detection of Sick Domestic Animals: Recent Advances

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
Body-temperature elevations are multifactorial in origin and classified as hyperthermia as a rise in temperature due to alterations in the thermoregulation mechanism; the body loses the ability to control or regulate body temperature.

When water interacts with temperature: Ecological and evolutionary implications of thermo‐hydroregulation in terrestrial ectotherms

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
The regulation of body temperature (thermoregulation) and of water balance (defined here as hydroregulation) are key processes underlying ecological and evolutionary responses to climate fluctuations in wild animal populations.
